Defiance Among Top 7 Affordable Small Towns in 2018

We all know the seductive advantages of big-city living. But there are plenty of charms found in small-town America, too—towns where you chat with your neighbors at the grocery store, local kids ride bikes in packs across tree-lined streets, and moms hang shirts to dry on the backyard clotheslines. Just like on those Sunday morning insurance commercials that put lumps in our throats every time.

Defiance in top 5 of best affordable small towns

Defiance is on the list of the top 10 affordable small towns where people would like to live in the nation.

Realtor.com released the list on Monday, which examined more than 500 micropolitan areas, with populations between 10,000-50,000.

The rankings took into account median home prices, crime rates, unemployment rates, the number of households that spend no more than 28 percent of their annual income on housing, history, culture, festivals and natural beauty.
